| Additional information |
Frankfurt maintained its status as a Free Imperial City partly through careful management of its coinage rights, which it held continuously from the medieval period until Napoleon dissolved the Holy Roman Empire in 1806. By 1788, the city's mint was operating in the final decades of that centuries-old autonomy — within eighteen years, Frankfurt would lose the right to strike its own coins entirely. The KM#269.1 designation separates this from a near-contemporary variety distinguished by die differences documented in the Jaeger-Frankfurt reference.
